The energy of material systems

The educational resource shows how the energy is the capacity to produce changes in the environment by doing work or transferring heat. This means that when a body transfers heat or does work, its ene ...

The changing Earth

The educational resource shows a Flash animation about the greenhouse effect The Earth is an open material system, because it interchanges matter and energy with outer space.

Conservation of energy (II)

The principle of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed; it is just transformed from some types of energy into others. The following visual will help you to underst ...

Conservation of energy (I)

The theorem of conservation of mechanical energy states that the work carried out on a body is invested exactly in increasing some type of energy. When a there are only conservative forces in a system ...

What is work? (II)

Work is one of the ways of transmitting energy between bodies. The following visual will help you understand the concept of work by modifying the force and the angle which it forms with the horizontal ...

What is energy?

A picture shows some transformations of energy. The energy from the sun passes to plants, to oil, to coal, to animals and to human beings; they take advantage of it by using the energy from oil, anima ...

Mechanical energy

Mechanical energy is what is produced by mechanical type forces, like elastic and gravitational forces.The following three pictures show situations involving mechanical energy.

Power (II)

Power measures the speed with which work is done. It is measured in watts, W, in the International System of Units. The following visual will help you to understand this concept more clearly as you se ...

Mass and weight

The educational resource shows a visual about the difference between mass and weight: mass is not the same as weight, although in ordinary life both words are used with the same meaning. In Physics, m ...

Conservation of energy

The educational resource shows a visual about the conservation of energy: the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of a body (mechanical energy) remains constant, provided there are no f ...
